Chapter 6. Sound Settings 43

6.2 Bass

This setting emphasises or suppresses the lower (bass) frequencies in the sound. A value of 0 dB means that bass sounds are unaltered (at response).

6.3 Treble

This setting emphasises or suppresses the higher (treble) frequencies in the sound. A value of 0 dB means that treble sounds are unaltered (at response).

6.4 Balance

This setting controls the balance between the left and right channels. The default, 0, means that the left and right outputs are equal in volume. Negative numbers increase the volume of the left channel relative to the right, positive numbers increase the volume of the right channel relative to the left.

6.5 Channels

A stereo audio signal consists of two channels, left and right. The Channels setting determines if these channels are to be combined in any way, and if so, in what manner they will be combined. Available options are:

Setting	Description
Stereo	Leave the audio signal unmodied.
Mono	Combine both channels and send the resulting signal to both stereo
	channels, resulting in a monophonic output.
Custom	Allows you to manually specify a stereo width with the Stereo Width
	setting described later in this chapter.
Mono Left	Plays the left channel in both stereo channels.
Mono Right	Plays the right channel in both stereo channels.
Karaoke	Removes all sound that is common to both channels. Since most music
	is recorded with vocals being equally present in both channels to make
	the singer sound centrally placed, this often (but not always) has the
	eect of removing the voice track from a song. This setting also very
	often has other undesirable eects on the sound.

6.6 Stereo Width

Stereo width allows you to manually specify the eect that is applied when the Chan- nels setting is set to \custom". All values below 100% will progressively mix the con-
